my aunt jean, who bravely decided to kayak with us. |
i of course am having second thoughts about kayaking... |
row, row, row your kayak... |
paddle, paddle, paddle... |
an abandoned light house that we paddled over to and went up. it was on an oyster shell covered sand bank. the shells were sharp as razors and i cut my toe by barely touching one of them. |
the view from the lighthouse. |
at beau rivage, where we got engaged. |
hanging out with ray and cathy who were celebrating their 19 wedding anniversary. |
the world of coca-cola museum at atlanta. |
we actually don't even like coke, but the museum is sort of neat. |
they had lots of these decorated in all crazy different styles. |
coke was served on the space shuttle once. no really, it actually was. |
the coke sponsored olympic torch from the olympic games in atlanta. |
nasty, nasty international coke soda drinks. |
aa big corral tank filled with fish. |
the atlanta aquarium has a moving sidewalk that goes under part of their huge tank. |
they have four of these 20 foot long whale sharks. |
this shark was a mere 8 or 10 feet long. |
this window was about 60 feet across and 40 feet high. the window was 2 foot thick acrylic. the tank is so big that the back side of it is not visible. |
there are 4 of these whale sharks but the tank is big enough to hold 6 of them. |
all kinds of fish, including regular sharks, are in this huge tank. |
some of the grouper in the tank were 6 feet big. that's a lot of grouper. |
some kind of crazy sea horse. |
they had two beluga whales in a smaller, but still big, tank. |
mai's new friend. |

cnn has the worlds longest suspension escalator. this was originally used for an indoor roller coaster and took you to the station where you got on the coaster. |
